The morning sun has a way of bring out the natural beauty in things. Whether it is these lovely orchids of mine, my ever-hungry dog, the sleepy face of a loved one, or simply the 1st cup of coffee, my mornings are filled with a bit of magic. True or not, these beautiful things make me feel beautiful in spite of my tasseled hair and morning breath — simply because they remind me how good it is to be alive and well.
